Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Auteur van The Study Quran
Over de Auteur
Born in Tehran, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the son of an educator, received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1958, after which he returned to Iran to teach and eventually to become a university chancellor. He was compelled to leave his native country after the revolution of 1979 and since then has toon meer taught in universities in the United States. Deeply influenced by the mystical Sufi tradition, Nasr is less concerned with reconciling the faith with modernism and is more concerned with presenting a traditionalist, though mystical, interpretation of religion that offers a way out of the contradictions of modernity. Through authentic spiritual experience, Nasr holds, one can penetrate the superficiality of modern scientific and other knowledge to find eternal truth. He is associated with the neotraditionalist school of philosophy. Undoubtedly, Nasr has had more general influence in the Western philosophical world than any other contemporary philosopher in the Islamic tradition. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Islamic Science: an Illustrated Study (World of… door Seyyed Hossein Nasr
I really like this book but, sadly, I have to downsize my library and it is a casualty. As I recall, it was quite an investment for me when I bought it. Nice book. Tries to redress the lack of knowledge in the west about Islamic Science and the debt owed by the western world to Islamic science. Three stars from me.
Este estudio breve de la vida del Bendito Profeta de Islam, para estudiantes de la escuela secundaria hacia arriba, ni es análisis histórico nuevo ni aun otro resumen biográfico puramente devoto de la carrera terrestre del último profeta de Dios. Esta biografía toma las dimensiones espirituales en más cuenta igual que los aspectos más fácticos e históricos de la vida de la persona que cambió la historia humana. -

Este es uno de los escritos más importantes del autor sobre el tema del encuentro y la interrelación entre el Islam y el modernismo. Dirigido de inmediato a musulmanes y occidentales, el autor trata en profundidad la crisis intelectual y espiritual del hombre moderno, así como los dilemas del musulmán contemporáneo frente al desafío abrumador del mundo moderno. Traza un camino para el entendimiento mutuo entre los musulmanes y los elementos tradicionales de la sociedad occidental, además de proporcionar, sobre la base de las doctrinas islámicas sapientales, criterios para juzgar varias facetas del modernismo. La situación del islam en el mundo musulmán contemporáneo se trata críticamente y, en la posdata, el autor medita sobre el futuro del islam y el mundo islámico a la luz de los desafíos sin precedentes que el mundo moderno plantea para los musulmanes. -
